A little bit.
It's a flying start 200m so you need to be able to have the endurance needed to wind up to close to the speed. Once you get close to the start gate, perhaps 100-150m out, you start the sprint and need to hold it to the finish gate. Then, if I understand these things with speed records, you turn around and do it the other way to get an averaged performance.
All my training this year has been aimed at going long, not super fast though. Isn't the battle mountain run pretty short and better suited to someone with more sprinter genes? Be pretty cool though.
